No cultivar name of record
This patent does not name the plant. Through the 1980s and early 1990s that was still common: naming every new cultivar only became standard practice as plants began to be marketed under brand names. The grant identifies this one by its number and by a written description instead.
Nothing here is missing from our records: the patent itself states no name. Where one exists we show it, and we do not invent one.
Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which abundantly forms attractive double red blossoms. The blossoms are Cardinal Red and are widely suffused with Cherry Red. Such blossoms are long lasting when cut and placed in a vase. The plant exhibits an upright growth habit, vigorous vegetation, and is particularly well suited for cut flower production. When forced under greenhouse conditions, the new variety continuously produces long-stemmed flowers throughout the year. Also, the new variety is not particularly affected by cryptogamic diseases.
